    LOVEBITES - Raise Some Hell lyrics:
    Who is playing?Who’s that chick?Shredding on guitar
    Who is playing?Who’s that chick?Heavy noise on bass
    Who is playing?Who’s that chick?Pounding on the drums
    Who am I?I’ve got a voice, it’s gonna knock you out
    Blowing up a storm
    Pick up microphone
    Ready to depart for the battlefield
    Ringing in my head
    Burning in my soul
    Crazy rock and roll, we’re ready to go
    Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together
    It’s like a party everybody shout tonight
    Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free
    This is time to rock yeah
    Make some noise!Raise some hell!
    Who will win?Who will lose?Claim the victory
    Who will scream?Who will cry?We can all survive
    Who will come?Who will go?Show me what you’ve got
    Who will die?Who’s alive?OK, bring it on
    Blowing up a storm
    Pick up microphone
    Ready to depart for the battlefield
    Ringing tin my head
    Burning in my soul
    Crazy rock and roll, we’re ready to go
    Let there be sound, be rock, come on now all together
    It’s like a party everybody shout tonight
    Let there be sound, be rock, come on now we are gonna stay free

    All LOVEBITES songs have English lyrics except one. It was a big dream for Miho (base), the founder and leader. It was something that no Japanese band had ever achieved, "playing at WACKEN OPEN AIR". In order to achieve that goal, we had to work outside Japan, so Asami who can sing in English was selected as the vocalist. Miho's dream came true in just one year after forming the band.

    LOVEBITES - The Hammer Of Wrath lyrics:
    What's the worst way to die?
    Burning to death, or drowning?
    Everyone laughs in derision
    There's no hope at all
    Why is the world rotting away
    Howling in pain, they slowly die
    All of the sorrow is murderous
    The insanity
    (Burn up)
    They're calling me
    (Burn up)
    It's do or die
    (Burn up)
    Get ready for hell
    (Bring down justice to the wicked)
    Don't look away from the mistakes
    Open your eyes, and see the truth
    When lightning cracks the blackened sky
    Listen to the screams of distress
    It's like a bad dream but it's not
    No way to get out, a living nightmare
    Bring down the Hammer of Wrath
    Who will be the next to burn?
    God only knows the victim
    Everyone knows they are innocent
    All the hope is gone
    In despair they pass away
    There was no hope to begin with
    Even the angels are giving up
    Looking down on us
    Will this night ever break dawn
    (Bring down justice to the wicked)
    What's the worst way to die?
    Burning to death, or drowning?
    Everyone laughs in derision
    There's no hope at all
    Why is the world rotting away
    Howling in pain, they slowly die
    All of the sorrow is murderous
    The insanity
    (Burn up)
    They're calling me
    (Burn up)
    It's do or die
    (Burn up)
    Get ready for hell
    (Bring down justice to the wicked)
    Don't look away from the mistakes
    Open your eyes, and see the truth
    When lightning cracks the blackened sky
    Listen to the screams of distress
    It's like a bad dream but it's not
    No way to get out, a living nightmare
    Bring down the Hammer of Wrath
    Bring down the Hammer of Wrath

She taught herself to play guitar at university at eighteen or nineteen and has only play it for just over ten years.

    Kudos to you Sir for taking the heat from the wolfpack and being such a good sport with it. I have seen several reactors on CZcams get criticized by the wolfpack for negative comments they made and almost every other reactor got angry and lashed out in retaliation which escalated the situation and made it even worse. But you, Sir, are a GREAT reactor, because you took the punches, gave Lovebites another shot, and were man enough to admit your mistake. You even posted the negative comments. Most reactors would have taken offense to the Funeral Director remark, but you took it in stride and were able to laugh at it. That is commendable. I subscribed to your channel now. You are welcome to join the wolfpack if you like, and spread the word to everyone you know, LOVEBITES is a GREAT band, one of the best in the world.

    amazing songs. midori is the guitarist with the blonde pony tail. miyako is the guitarist that plays piano. miho is bass. haruna is drums. asami is vocals. all there songs are in english with the exception of the song bravehearted off the lovebites ep. the song was later rerecorded in english for there first album and is sung in english when performed live. lovebites won the metal hammer golden god award for best new band in 2018. If i had a song to recommend would be We The United. It is there anthem and the song that introduced them to me and is a truly amazing song

    wolfpack is always here. I wasn't harsh with you the first time because I've seen worse as a reactor, and you generally liked the music. I admit that sometimes I am quite scathing but you seemed very honest and sincere. Not everyone in the pack reacts the same way depending on how they feel about the video. You're not the first to be lectured and you won't be the last. In any case very good reaction on 4 titles I take my hat off to you for that rare those who made 4 titles on a reaction. There are certain titles of Lovebites which are more technical than others, therefore that requires on behalf of the members of the group a great concentration. That's why their stage presence differs from song to song. There are some bands that don't need a lot of staging, only the musical magic they give off is enough to appreciate their performance. This is the case for example of Joe Satriani who does nothing more than play, and Lovebites is rather in that style. No need to roll on the floor like Angus Young to make the show, just the power and the musical quality do the rest.

    Thank you for coming back to them--and doing a triple play. You chose well, capturing three very different aspects of the band. So, to help you with names:
    Haruna - drums (2016-present)
    Midori - guitars, backing vocals (2016-present) (blonde ponytail)
    Miyako - guitars, keyboards, backing vocals, main composer (2016-present) (dark hair)
    Asami - lead vocals, writes a lot of the lyrics (2016-present)
    Miho - bass, backing vocals, founder and bandleader (2016-2021) wrote some of their thrashier songs, eg. Thunder Vengeance
    "Raise some Hell" is just a straight-up rocker, and one of their least technical songs. They can just go nuts with it because they can probably play it in their sleep. But yes, it's a very good first reaction song.
    Re. "Swan Song": Chopin (pronounced Show-pan) was a Polish-born Romantic-era (1800’s) classical composer and piano virtuoso who lived most of his life in France. He is considered one of the greatest classical composers of all time. Miyako, who composes a lot of Lovebites’ music, is a professional-level concert pianist, and was originally going to make classical music her career. When she was 18, she picked up a guitar, and is now one of the best metal guitarists in the world. She particularly likes the Romantic Era classical composers like Debussy, Dvořák, Chopin and Rachmaninoff. She composed “Swan Song” using elements of the New World Symphony (Dvořák) and Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude (official name Étude Opus 10, No. 12 in C minor). All five members of the band are Jedi-level musicians, but I think Miyako is a once-in-a generation talent, a true savant.
    Re. "Hammer of Wrath": The opening passage is actually a pre-recorded instrumental ("the Awakening") that introduces their encore; "Hammer" is the first of three live songs in the encore. Keep in mind they are coming back after 90 minutes of relentless Lovebites-pace thrashing, and they look like they could go another 90.
    One final note--the first video you watched was from their 2021 concert. These three are from 2020.

    I actually think the Wolfpack, and the Nightwish Army for that matter are generally fairly sociable and willing to help reactors to appreciate their idols, although there'll always be a few idiots who go over the top.
    Now, if only we can persuade your fellow countryman Tank the Tech to give Lovebites another try, as he also dismissed them on the basis of just one track (wasn't too keen on Asami's vocals apparently) . The lesson is to do what you've done and delve a bit deeper.

    The pianist Miyako graduated from the Chopin academy before starting to rock, she was at first a support musician before joining the group. When the bassist Miho and drummer Haruna formed lovebites, they organized auditions for a singer and cjose Asami on the ground that she had a strong voice and could sing in English. Singing in Japanese would have restricted their success abroad.

    Lovebites released one song in Japanese "Bravehearted" on their very first EP. That song had been written by the drummer when she was in a previous band which is why it was in Japanese. They later released an English version of the song. Other than that ALL of their 50 songs are 100% English. They made that choice because their target audience is the whole world, not just Japan.

    I commented on your first Lovebites video and recommended Swan Song so you might see a different look from them. You certainly came back with a vengeance with three excellent songs and great audio and video quality. Keep doing what you’re doing and the Cowboy will be looking for more of your reactions.
    Now, just in case you haven’t yet reacted to The Warning, I think you might add them to your rotation. They are another all female band of 3 young sisters from Mexico who play a new generation of hard rock and will be taking the US by storm starting in January for their American tour. They caught Metallica’s attention and are featured as the lead off song on Metallica’s newest album, The Blacklist! Head over to their CZcams channel and you can pick something from there. Their video Disciple or Enter Sandman are two great choices to react to.
    Happy trails to you!

    The three songs in this reaction are all from the same concert, which was the Five of a Kind tour (Zepp DiverCity, Tokyo) in 2020, but it is not the same concert as the first video you reacted to a few days ago, although they are wearing the same outfits. The first reaction Set the World on Fire was from the Ride for Vengeance Tour, which was in March 2021. You also correctly surmised that The Awakening/Hammer of Wrath was an encore. It was the first of a three-song encore that also included Edge of the World and their real show-stopper We the United.

    LOVEBITES - Swan Song lyrics:
    If this was the last day you could live on this earth
    Would you still go on, accusing someone for today
    It’s better to fail than not do anything at all
    It is not the length, but depth of life that counts
    Oh brave soldier
    Oh gallant warrior
    Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
    Believe what’s in your soul
    For death will come to all
    You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
    Floating lotus
    You are so graceful
    Saintly and glorious
    Till the end of time
    Floating lotus
    You are so beautiful
    Sing me your sweet song
    The legend of the swan
    If you’ve never hoped, you’ve never been though despair
    Ignorance is bliss, it’s easier to not care
    You might think it’s meaningless to sacrifice a life
    Sometimes the life of one can save so many more
    Oh brave soldier
    Oh gallant warrior
    Valor to those who died in battle to Valhalla
    Believe what’s in your soul
    For death will come to all
    You shall rest peacefully in God’s Heaven
    Floating lotus
    You are so graceful
    Saintly and glorious
    Till the end of time
    Floating lotus
    You are so beautiful
    Sing me your sweet song
    The legend of the swan
    Floating lotus
    You are so graceful
    Saintly and glorious
    Till the end of time
    Floating lotus
    You are so beautiful
    Sing me your sweet song
    The legend of the swan

    I would like to suggest that try avoid MVs of Japanese bands, at least if you want know the songs. Japanese musicians are made to play live. In Japan, if you don't deliver on live shows, in any style of music, you're nothing. There are a lot of other bands, but we can start with these. Japan now has awsome new rock bands that are ten years old or less. Sadly, western rock are stucked in the mud for at least, 20 years. All of the great headliners are grandfathers (or grand grandfathers). :-)

    First and foremost THANK YOU, for giving this insane band a second chance. Many a reactor would of given up especially with all the negative reactions you had to endure, so BRAVO to you!!! A great selection for this band and if you don't like them after this then we are not your cup of tea!! The talent in this band is insane and when you realize the size of these petite women (look like runway models) Haruna/drums 4' 9", Asami/vocals 4' 10", Midori/Blond guitar and Miho/bass 5' and the giant Miyako/Black guitar/piano 5' 2" it is even more mind blowing. These women got at it like this for 2 hours and with no apparent effort and no sweat in gowns/dresses and HIGH HEELS, while all the while singing uplifting lyrics and melting your face off. Japanese women are some of the most gifted musicians you will ever experience. Think Midori and Miyako are insane, wait, say they are the best and you will get reactions like you won't believe from the fans of Hal-Ca(Asterism), Tomo-zo (Doll$Boxx), Yuki (D_Drive), Saki (Mary's Blood/Nemophila), Kanami (Band Maid) etc..! Show-Ya stormed the Boy's Club in the 1980's and all these great female bands have followed them in (Show-Ya is still active BTW). This band incorporates the piano into metal better than any other band period!! While Miyako is a musical savant and writes incredible compositions they are nothing without these incredibly talented band-mates of hers who can play them and do so in total sync LIVE. This band is the very definition of FLAWLESS PERFECTION and that is because they are relentless in their practice habits pursuing perfection!! Well done subbed!!!!

    Raise som Hell is a fun song. A good song to start with. Usually the recommendation is Holy War, which is a bit more demanding and makes your jaw drop lower. It is not as engaged between the band members though. Also Swan Song is often recommended. It is a kind of interesting experience. I am a bit amazed by that metal fans seems to love the piano part.
    Set the world on fire, which was the one you started with is (IMHO) a very good song. It is different. They had the pandemic rules for the audience though and the audience contact was zero. I think it is well worth listening to again. Maybe it will grow on you. It has some very interesting changes in the song and a very interesting (IMHO again) singing.

    The second is the complete opposite of that, their wildest and craziest roller coaster ride of a song, titled "Winds of Transylvania" which was created to be the opening theme song to an anime.

    A thumb up this time! Well done for hearing more than a highschoold band :)
    OK, the most amazing thing with this band is them playing heavy metal MUSIC, not just making heavy metal noise like most other metal bands. There is a serious content in their songs, Id say most bands can produce a whole album out of a single Lovebites song.
    The other amazing thing is how perfect they play live. Ive heard most of the world greatest bands and most are unable to play LIVE what they played in the studio. Even Maiden, Judas and Metallica have messy moments live.. I can only name ACDC and Lovebites always always always perfect on stage. Nightwish too.
    Its unbelievable how they play every single note, every single beat, nobody cheating with playing few notes less, Asami sing like a whole opera and everything goes in wild tempo.
    Next song for reaction - you can not really go wrong, but I think Winds of Transylvania or Today is the day. Just pick one LIVE.

    Thanks for giving LOVEBITES another chance. Since there are so many worthy recommendations for LOVEBITES songs, I'm going to recommend the band was the first band that I discovered on my quest to find new music, the band that led me directly to LOVEBITES. They're called BAND-MAID, and they can be your second all-female band on the channel. They are as special to me as LOVEBITES is. They're more hard rock than heavy metal, but they have incredible energy and skill. Here's a link to the first song I heard from them, "Play," live from the Line Cube Shibuya (shee - boo - ya) in Shibuya, Tokyo. Here's the link.

    Miyako is a concert level classical pianist who taught herself guitar at the age of 18. She also composes most of the songs, one could say, and they wouldn't be wrong, she a musical prodigy. Just so you know at the beginning of "Swan Song" she was playing Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, with eyes closed!!! Yes Miyako plays a mean Bass and she plays drums. Not like Haruna can, no one can play like Haruna. Anything from Live Zepp DiverCity Tokyo 2020, you can't go wrong. You now know Miyako can on the piano and the guitar, check out "Burden of Time" live studio version. She plays, briefly, both at the same time. Also check out "Epilogue" "Empty Day Dream" and "Edge of the World". Shows their softer side and really shows Asami's vocal talent.

    These three songs were from the same show FOAK and the first one you saw was from Ride for Vengeance a difference of a year FOAK was in March of 2020 and Ride For Vengeance was in July of this year. They have only one song in Japanese but redid it in English the same year (2017)Bravehearted was done on their debut EP The Lovebites EP and redone on their first full album Awakening from Abyss. Still think they are a high school band Lol, If I said something out of line I too am not going to apologize I love this band and the Ladies very much and they deserve a lot of respect and attention they are not getting from the music world that only loves the mainstream crap they are being fed.
